Zabel played 20 total snaps in Seattle's Week 1 preseason tie with the Las Vegas Raiders. The former Bison standout threw several key blocks, creating rushing lanes for the ball-carriers to burst through. Pro Football Focus assigned Zabel an overall grade of 81.2 for that performance, one that gained national acclaim.

Emmanwori has the defensive versatility to be a version of Kyle Hamilton, which is the archetype of player that genuinely thrives in a Mike Macdonald defense. If Emmanwori can be that, he can take the Seahawks to new heights on defense.

The new left guard 1st-round pick dominated a starting D-tackle. The O-line dominates, too. What a difference, by recent Seattle standards.
